soon Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 Ive switched to one gallon brewing and Im loving it! Just tried a sip from a batch i brewed a few weeks ago. Exquisite! In small batches one can risk more experimentation. I used bread yeast and am happy with that too! - purified water - bread yeast - foraged stinging nettles - Briess light DME 20 minute boil, ready to bottle in 1-2 weeks. Bottle conditioned within the month. Some of those in UK who've revived the Hedgerow brewing traditions swear by adding Tang crystals. I happen to have some and can see how it might be helpful to try next time. 7 pints for about $10! ABV ended up slightly higher than same recipe with ale yeast, so also slightly drier. The bread yeast imparts some spicy notes (ethers). I like spicy ethers and I like drier ales. But not both qualities together so much. Still enjoying it though! And had my experimental recipe been shit, Id toss it down the drain and just be out $10 and about 45 minutes (spread over a month). Im never going back to 6 gallon batches!

jamillos Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 I've never tried Hennessy to date, and I think it'll happen today. Not that I have loads of money to afford to buy such a goody, especially these days, but what the hell. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s fascinating about the fight for the name Budweiser.

DieselDaisy Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 Czech beer is the greatest. I love their whole attitude to beer also; it is with great pride and I love the relaxed etiquette of plonking your arse down and basically getting endless beer brought.

Len Cnut Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 I ain't drinking now, til at least the summer, I've turned into a great big fat cunt. Looked on the scales the other day I was fuckin' almost 16 and a half stone. 16 and a fucking half, its a fucking disgrace! I fuckin' drank all my life, this has never happened before. So yeah, knocking it on the head, I'm gonna sober up, get up 5am every morning and run like fuck, sweat this fuckin' shite off. I was 12 stone standard, all my life. The worst thing is I don't get proper fat, like all over fat, I wouldn't mind that, I've just got a big fuckin' stomach like a fuckin' Darts player. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your lucky that you didnt get the man boobs at least! I was getting a fat ass from edibles! Like oil or chocolates. So I started just eating the decarbed hash straight. Put it in my low fat yogurt But then I thought to buy everyone edibles for Christmas. A box of 50 doses of chocolates, candies and soda/pop is set to arrive here any day. We'll see how much lasts till Christmas! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can eat and drink what I want and I don't gain any weight. I'm lazy as it is, but there have been plenty of days since March where I barely even moved all day because I was stuck at home, yet I still don't gain a pound.

Until more recently I had a similar situation. It was difficult to adapt to my big new ass - I dont know how the Kardashians did it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, I'm not 16 anymore... most people my age have to work out to stay fit, and I am sitting at home drinking too much and eating crap food, but I still look like I did when I was a skinny 18 year old. I should be huge by now, so I guess my point is... I'm probably really sick! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or it could be that you have a really healthy 'biome' / gut flora? Or as you said great metabolism? Perhaps your cycling is enough to keep you fit? Please keep drinking too much and eating crap food so that you wont waste away! Maybe its time to have your Dr examine your poop or something? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh don't worry, I was kinda kidding... or I don't know, but I'm sure I would have dropped dead by now if I really am sick because I've always been like this. I guess everyone just has a different metabolism and mine works really fast? I haven't been to a doctor in over 15 years, but I'll be sure to ask him next time! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
